Putin doesnt want peace though, if he did he could end the war now. The only talk I can hear is Trump, a deal is close, a deal is not close, a deal is close etc etc.Quote:

He's apparently the first to make that demand.
Then he didn't bother to show up.
I have no idea if this photo of Trump at the Pope's funeral is real or not.

Who knew ?
Not holding my breath though
Probably real, since he was also apparently texting at the Pope's funeral. Around 4.05 in this clip.Quote:

Does not understand the meaning of a trade deficit
Does not mean other countries are ripping him off
The cost of his imports from China exceeds the value of his exports
Guy is an idiot
Not going to end well
China now looking at other markets
I’m not sure there’s much he does understand.Quote:

And other markets are looking at China, the US have just told the world that they are unreliable trading partners, friends and allies, this will have a long lasting impact on them as the world now reassess it's strategy in dealing with them.Quote:

I work with someone who has a child studying at university in the US. They are terrified that if they come home for a visit that this will happen when they re-enters the US. They also clears down devices daily and have been told to avoid any criticism of the government as part of their university work just in case.Quote:

Especially when the GOP is full of MAGA nuts or moderates who are too scared to put their heads over the parapet.
Other problem is there’s no opposition. Every General Election in the UK we always have an opposition. It may be weakened, but there’s a leader to coalesce around. Not so in America.
